This Is Why You Need A Team To Support Your Writing
Writing is like raising a child. While you can try to ensure the kind of outcome you desire and imagine, you never how life’s twists and turns will take you in a direction you never expected. I had never held a newborn baby until the midwife put my daughter in my arms. I remember taking […]
The Science Of Writing
Like most of my writer friends, I live a double life. My writing life is a living, breathing thing that exists atop a whole other life filled with work and kids and car pool and soccer practice. In truth, some days it seems there is very little room left for my writing life. Some days […]
Swimming Laps on the Page with Sonnets
When I started swimming last year, I could only do the sidestroke, the backstroke, and a flailing version of the breaststroke, which entailed me arching my face out of the water like a horse and frantically kicked my arms and legs.

Life By The Books
I’ve been wondering lately if one day I’ll look back on my creative work in terms of the life chapters during which the work was done. I wrote my first book, a memoir, in my twenties. Part of it I wrote as my master’s thesis, part of it I wrote while teaching. Although I was […]
How To Write Really Interesting Blog Posts
For many writers, a part of promoting themselves and their books is writing blog posts. But many of us (say me for example) find ourselves looking at a blank page and a blinking cursor and freeze up. We might write a 90k novel with no hesitation, but the idea of writing a 900-word blog post […]
